Frequently asked questions

What if my PDF cannot get under 1 MB?

Only photos and scanned images can be compressed. If the PDF is still too large at the strongest setting, you get the smallest version possible and a message saying so. Removing pages you do not need, or splitting the PDF, makes it smaller.

Is the text still sharp?

Yes. Text and drawings are not changed; only photos and scans are recompressed.

I need a different limit.

Use Compress PDF, choose Target size and type any size in KB.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your files never leave your device and nothing is stored on a server.
